I keep forgetting about the Strauss Troy Market on Tuesdays at Fountain Square…
I’ll have to try to remember to check it out for lunch next Tuesday. 🙂

To remember.
Our chief sanity officer sent this out this morning, and I thought it was very powerful…
Today marks the anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944). Starting in 1993, Charles
Schulz ran this comic to commemorate the beginning of the liberation of Western
Europe during WWII. Schulz died in 2000, but newspapers that still run “Peanuts”
still run this comic.

The bouquet of daisies I got for Genifer all the way back on May 24th is still looking as fresh as the day they arrived…
We didn’t do anything after our big fun day yesterday except lay around today. 😀🌼

Bunbury x 21C.
Despite not being big fans of any bands at this year’s Bunbury Music Festival, we bought tickets for the Sunday lineup featuring Thirty Seconds to Mars, The 1975 and Muse among others. We also had a gift card to 21C Museum Hotel downtown on Walnut Street that my work gave us as a wedding present. If you combine the Bunbury and staying downtown at 21C that sounds like a pretty awesome Sunday.
Genifer’s mom, Geri was kind enough to watch Oscar for the evening as well as drop us off at 21C downtown…
Our room was all the way up on the tenth floor…
Drumroll…
It was such an incredible room that really wasn’t all that much smaller than our old apartment. We sat around for a bit and enjoyed our new digs as watched some of the Reds game in our plush, swanky, new home for the night…
And then we went to get a couple of burgers at BRU…
Before we walked down to Sawyer Point to check out Bunbury…
Surprisingly, this is the only photo my camera strap made it into…
We checked out the view from the top of this Miller Lite bar…
Holy geez was that ladder to the roof rickety…
I ended up using four different cameras at Bunbury. I used the camera on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and my Samsung Galaxy S. But mostly I used my old point & shoot Canon SX280 to take the majority of photos because of its’ toy camera effect with the dark cornervignetting, blurriness and other distortions like in the photos above and below…
I also took some photos with my Polaroid CUBE…
I also took this video with my CUBE of people just walking passed us as we were people watching while Thirty Seconds to Mars was playing…
Bunbury was such a good time! So much fun. So much great music. We headed home…
And we ordered some Domino’s pizza because Domino’s doesn’t deliver to Northside…
😍❤️
It was kind of weird waking up in downtown Cincinnati again. It definitely had a very distinct deja vu feeling to it…
Especially since you could actually see our old apartment building two blocks away…
I’m going to have to try to source these pillows…
And then Geri and Oscar picked us up, and took us home. And that was that. 🙂
Thank you to Geri for watching Oscar and providing our ground transportation and thank you to Deskey for the wonderful 21C gift card. It made an amazing evening unforgettable on a pretty epic scale!

Soccer Saturday.
There were a bunch of great soccer matches slated for later today. But first things first, this morning we had to do some yard work. We trimmed the bushes, pulled some weeds and mowed the grass in our little front yard…
We worked on our backyard a bit too. Before last night, before mowing today, and finally the beautiful after shot…
And we wrapped up just in time to watch the Champions League final. The result was kind of disappointing with Real Madrid beating Juventus 4-1. I thought it would have been a much more competitive match. But the lone Juventus goal was one for the ages. But 4-1 is still a little bit sad trombone.
Afterward, we walked down to Second Place to watch our FC Cincinnati play away to Rochester Rhinos…
FC Cincy rested most of their starters, opting to go with mainly a second squad and as a result had a really hard time generating any sort of real offense and lost 1-0. The loss snaps FC|C’s four-match winning streak. They play another three home matches in the next seven days starting this Saturday when they welcome the Charlotte Indepence to Nippert Stadium. That match is then followed by the big #MLS2Cincy US Open Cup Hell Is Real Ohio derby match against Columbus Crew on Wednesday and then another home USL match this time against the first-placed Charleston Battery two weeks from today.
Soon after the FC Cincinnati match, the USMNT played a friendly against Venzelua. We made it home just after the kick-off. And that match ended 1-1. But the USMNT pride jerseys were pretty awesome. I might just have to look into ordering one of those for myself. They were some of the sharpest uniforms the USMNT has worn in quite a while. In fact, they’re my US favorite jerseys dating back to the old “sash” jerseys from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. And I’m probably well overdue for a new USMNT jersey. 
And even though not one team I was cheering for managed to win today, it was still a great afternoon and evening of soccer.

Happy National Doughnut Day!
Today was National Doughnut Day! And miraculously, two big boxes of delicious Holtman’s Donuts showed up in our office this morning!
And there was also a sizeable assortment of doughnuts from Marcella’s…
Why can’t every day be National Doughnut Day? 😁 🍩 😍 ❤️

Luke Bryan with Brett Eldredge.
Genifer went to see Luke Bryan with Brett Eldredge tonight at Riverbend…
It was a girl’s night out for Cathy’s birthday…
It sounded like they had a pretty good time. While she was doing that, I was watching…
Until I went to pick her up but by that point, the game was pretty much over. 🙂 🏀

USOC17: FC Cincinnati versus Louisville City FC.
IT’S MATCH DAY! And it’s the Dirty River Derby US Open Cup edition. Our beloved FC Cincinnati were taking on heated rival Louisville City FC at Nippert in the third round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2017. And if just knocking Louisville out of the Cup wasn’t motivation enough, the winner of this match gets to host Columbus Crew in the fourth round of the USOC…
Kind of a sparse crowd in attendance tonight for such a big match…
Digging the guy in the full FC Cincinnati goalkeeper kit…
The last time these two teams met at Nippert, Djiby got red carded and then suspended for an additional five matches for supposedly biting as Louisville player…
So you know he has some revenge on his mind.
O say can you see…
HERE WE GO! Cmon boys!
A nice handful of LCFC fans made the drive up from Louisville for the match…
And at halftime, the match was still knotted at 0-0…
SPRINKLES!!!
Here we go! The second half is underway…
GOAL! DJIBY! 1-0 FC CINCINNATI!
I think this was the smallest crowd ever at Nippert for an FC Cincinnati match…
For comparison, Louisville City FC averaged 7,218 at their home matches in 2016.
AND THERE’S THE FULL-TIME WHISTLE! 1-0 FC Cincinnati!
Next match for FC Cincinnati at Nippert will be on June 10th…
When they host Charlotte Indepence…
And…
ON JUNE 14th at 7pm…
#MLS2Cincy…
It’s so exciting! The inaugural HELL IS REAL derby! What a great night! Both on and off the pitch…
SEE YOU ON THE 10th AND THE 14TH! And yes, we already have our tickets for this…
😀 ⚽️ ❤️

Good morning from Northside.

Slow down and grill.
I don’t know if you noticed but we hadn’t grilled yet this week. So I stopped into Avril Bleh Meat Market downtown on Court Street looking to pick up some burger patties to throw on the grill tonight…
I got two aged steak burger patties. The butcher said they were made with the leftover meat after they were done cutting the steaks. When there wasn’t enough meat left to cut another steak, they took what was left and ground into patties…
And we threw a bunch of hot dogs on the grill for lunches…
I should have cleaned off the top of the grill before it got super hot. Stupid mulberries.
After the burgers and dogs were done, we threw some chicken strips on the grill that Genifer had marinated half in BBQ sauce and half in jerk seasoning…
She also made some spicy baked mac & cheese topped Ritz crackers…
A delicious meal! Those burgers were outstanding, and the mac & cheese was great!
YUM! We love our grill! 😀 🍔 🌭 ❤️
